For those of you who have never been to a benched show, this is basically all the exhibitor gets to see. After you have spent your 10 minutes in the ring, you must be at your bench, with your dog of course, from 9am - 5:30pm. You decorate your bench usually with photos of your dog (s). People get very creative with their benches.

It is a great way to meet the public and share your love for your breed. The Golden Gate Kennel Club has a limited entry of 2500 dogs and that fills up quickly.

People young and old come to experience your breed. Boxers are a natural politician as they smooze up to everyone.

This was Booker T's 9th benched show. He was a great spokesdog for the breed. Everyone walked away with a great feeling about Boxers. The Greatest Breed on the planet !!
